A three bed bungalow, over half an acre and a €150,000 guide price. This one is worth getting out of the car for.

Yes, the trees have got out of hand. Yes, the house needs updating. But come and stand on this site before you make up your mind.

There`s a proper three-bedroom home here with a layout you can work with, plenty of ground around it and a location that makes the project well worth considering.

This 1950`s bungalow needs a new owner with ideas and the energy to get stuck in. It needs updating, certainly, but much of what you see is decorative. It has three large bedrooms, a sitting room, dining room, kitchen and family bathroom, all on a c. 0.57 acre site.

The layout has possibilities too. We could see the dining room becoming a bright kitchen/dining space, with the current kitchen making a very handy utility room.

The big job outside is obvious: the conifers have grown far too tall and are encroaching along the side. Cut them back and you could have a completely different feel to the site. We`ve included clearly marked AI impressions to help show that possibility.

There`s electricity and water at the house, and the septic tank is within the site boundary. We saw no obvious damp during our visit, and the roof appears to be in good condition. The plumbing may be something a buyer chooses to upgrade. As always with an older house, we recommend getting your own survey.

The location is a real draw, just 5.7 km from Mountbellew, with its shops, schools, agricultural college, childcare, medical services, pharmacy and sports facilities. There`s easy access to the N63 towards Galway, with Tuam and Ballinasloe also within reach.

The house has been vacant for over two years, meeting the vacancy period required for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant. A buyer could qualify for up to €50,000, subject to their application, the proposed works and local authority approval. Separate SEAI grants may also be available for eligible upgrades such as insulation, windows and doors, heating or solar panels.

At €150,000, we think this one is well worth getting out to see. Walk around the house, take in the size of the site, and picture what you would do with it. Call Bradley Homes to arrange a viewing.
